CRACK VESSEL
Tuesday, August 4, 2009 / 1:46 AM
i love the illustration used by pastor jasmine regarding the crack vessel last saturday (:
God doesn't use perfect vessel, God wants to use crack vessel like us.
like what she said; if a lamp were to be covered by a perfect pot, the light can never shine out of the pot, however, if a lamp were to be covered by a pot full of cracks, we can see light shining through the cracks of the pot.
likewise, God's light can only shine through crack vessel like yours and mine (:
do not be discourage or do not despise yourself because you are full of cracks; hey, you are the perfect candidate for God to use in His kingdom! (:
haha, pardon me for my lousy english (:
frankly, i am kind of defeated by myself.
i am a vessel full of cracks and i am unworthy for God to use me in great measures.
i am too ashamed to ask God to use me and to lead people to christ.
but yes, this shouldn't be the way.
i want to be use greatly by God.. though i hate responsibilities and commitments.. but i want to be used by God!
i'd rather have responsibilities and commitments than not to be use by God.
i should be more faithful in spending time with my Lord and allowing Him into my life.
i should start opening the door of my heart and let Him in.
His people failed me but God hasn't.
i love you, Jesus.
God, i know i am making lot's of excuses.
but God, give me some time.
i promise you, i will put a smile onto your face, once again.
i want to please you, i want to live for you alone.
God, i miss you so much.
i want to make a difference in the community, i want to teach your word with convictions and witness life transformation through it.
God, give me the determination and courage to see this.
i know and i know.. this requires more than myself.
deny myself and carry the cross.
how hard is this to deny myself, deny what i love and the list goes on.
but God is worthy for me to deny everything...
argh, God you need to intervene in this; though i know i need to make some tough decisions.
hahaha... i am hoping for a happy ending. (:
